Steve Lyon, CPCU, CIC, CRM, AAI, ARM, AIS, CRIS, MLIS, AFIS, TRIP
Most errors-and-omissions claims against agents and brokers are not because they have done something wrong … it’s because they can’t prove that they haven’t done anything wrong. Join Steve Lyon, CPCU, CIC, CRM, CRIS, AAI, ARM, AIS, MLIS, AFIS, TRIP, for a discussion on some of the emerging E&O issues and recent court cases—and the oldies but goodies, too—facing insurance producers. The course will help you develop the internal and external procedures necessary to avoid falling short of the standard of care required by the courts. This class will explore particularly troublesome coverage issues, which create significant exposures for insurance producers, and will provide answers and risk-control techniques to help keep your agency out of court.
